Movie Recommendations
22 Mar 2020My friend got dumped recently so I made them a list of movies that they could watch to occupy themselves. I think we all need something to occupy ourselves nowadays, considering the lockdowns, social distancing, and quarantines. Staying home is boring. Here are some movie recommendations from me. They’re mostly old movies, but I like old movies.

I used to go to Blockbuster’s a lot as a little girl, long before they were run out of business by Netflix. I’d go with my mom all the time during the summer and she’d let me pick out any three movies I wanted. I think they had a special deal for three movies or something. I’d just go home and watch them, absolutely delighted in the personal opportunity to escape my present time and place. I still love movies and TV for the escapism of it. I notice the details now, though. The devil’s in the details.
